"Luuuuuuuuchaaaaaaan." Lucy's head was spinning as she tried to open her lead heavy eye-lids. She tried to move but her hands and feet wouldn't budge from where she felt them pressed together. Slowly getting her lids to heed her calls to open she checked her surroundings and the small hope that it had all been a dream died instantly. The only light in the room was a small lightbulb that hung from the middle of the ceiling, casting a small light in a circle around her but hiding the walls in pure darkness. Panicking Lucy started to throw herself back and forth in the chair but to no avail.

"I bolted it to the floor Lu-chan" Levy's voice resounded around the room making Lucy squeal. "Oh and don't try and call to your Spirits, the ropes block all your magical power."

"Levy what, what's going on!" She tried to keep her voice calm but she could already feel it starting to fail.

"I knocw Lu-chan I know. I was expecting you but it wasn't supposed to be for another couple of hours." Levy emerged from the shadows in front of her as she spoke, holding the knife Lucy had seen before fainting. A creepy smile crept across Levy's face as she walked around the tied up Lucy while twirling the knife in her right hand and spinning her blue hair in her left.

"Levy please, please just stop this." Tears rained down onto her lap as Lucy pleaded for her life. She didn't try to comprehend why her friend had gone insane, at this point she just wanted to get out alive.

"Oh Lu-chan I want to, I really do but that isn't possible! Well okay it kind of is but it's a bit of a difference between wanting to and actually going to."Levy had done a full circle around Lucy and stopped in front of her, dragging the blunt side of the knife along her long neck while staring directly into her eyes. Looking at them Lucy saw nothing but insanity and...They weren't Levy's eyes. Her normally hazel eyes were completely black like the coffee that Makarov drank when he had a hangover.

"No. No you're not Levy. Levy wouldn't do this." A small red glimmer appeared from Levy's right eye and it was almost like a switch had been flipped.

"Heheeeee but she would and that's the best part!" Levy spun in a circle on one foot and threw her hands in the air. "All she needed was a little...push." The last world was hissed as Levy bent over to bring herself face to face with Lucy. Black tendrils had started to snake themselves along her arms and down her legs as whatever was talking pushed itself to the forefront of Levy's mind. Suddenly though, just as it had appeared, the the tendrils vanished and dissipated back into the girls skin. The red glimmer that had become brighter and brighter throughout the ordeal retreated and was replaced with the black that had been there before.

"During the party at the castle after the games, Gajeel and I went and had our... fun. After though, while he slept, a small voice came to me through the window. He was soothing and nice and oh so sweet. He swept me from the room and brought me up to the rooftops and talked to me whispering the sweetest things in my ears. Eyes like black coal and a smile that could melt your heart he helped me see what was going on in this world and helped me see how we could stop it." Levy was starting to talk faster and more hysterically as Lucy just sat tied to the chair and cried for her friend.

"Eyes like black coal..." The words rang through Lucy's head until she realized who had turned her friend into a crazed murderer

"Zeref" Levy squealed in delight as the name was issued forth from the lips of her once best friend.

"That's right Lu-chan that's right! Oh you wouldn't believe what he showed me, what he opened my eyes up to! There are others like us all over Fiore now because of the Games! He found one of us for every guild and even some of the dark guilds! Oh Lu-chan it's truly beautiful!" Levy was twirling around the small circle of light as she spoke to Lucy now, the knife that she held coming closer and closer to the blonde mage.

"It was so easy for him. You see we all have some crazy in us, but only some have the potential to be unlocked and one of them was meeeee" Swinging behind her Levy brought the knife down and across Lucy's right cheek; smiling as Lucy yelped at the sharp pain.

"Why Droy though. And Mira and Freed!" Lucy needed answers and she needed them quickly before her small piece of resolve broke even farther.

"I needed a reason to be in shock, to not be seen or heard from. Droy was a lot slower than Jet, he wasn't a good first choice for starting out. With him dead I could just pretend to be mourning and move when I wanted to but Makarov that damn fool had Gajeel watch over us. The night after was tough but with the Exceeds away Gajeel didn't have anybody else watching and with my scent already set in his nose he never even noticed! Mira though, Mira was the one that really needed to go. That smile and laugh and everything else about her, you know as well as I do that she's the heart and soul of this guild! I had hoped that the guild would just shut down but you people just came back and tried even harder to find the culprit! Freed wasn't supposed to get home until the next day though, he wasn't planned but, honestly? He made it all the easier to take out that bitch. All I had to do was wait until they were the most vulnerable and, boom!" The sneer was what scared Lucy the most. There was no love left in the voice of her friend, just malicious contempt.

"Levy I...The investigation they launched after Mira's death, something happened." Levy squealed with joy.

"Tell me! What did those Slayers think they found."

"Levy they, well Gajeel he-"

"What about Gajeel!? WHAT ABOUT HIM!?" Spittle flew into Lucy's face as the crazed mage screamed for her answer.

"Levy they...they killed him. Natsu and the others they started to investigate and a hair they found at Freed's house it- it matched a smell that Gajeel had when he came back from here!" Tears formed and fell down Levy's face as Lucy explained the events of the past day. When the first of the tears hit the floor her eyes flickered hazel again but were instantly black again as the second one hit.

"I didn't... That wasn't supposed to happen...I didn't think they would do anything..." Levy lost it. Screaming and flailing her arms she flew around the room knocking books and papers off the unseen shelves that lined the dark make-shift prison. By accident she grabbed a curtain and tore it down, bringing beams of sunlight into the room. The scene outside was a beautiful winter day in Magnolia and the window from Fairy Hills overlooked the entire town with Fairy Tail's guild hall gleaming in the distance. "HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO DIE! THOSE BASTARDS! I FUCKING HATE THEM! I HATE THEM ALL!" Books and papers continued to fly as the small girl fired random bursts of magic through the room, destroying a bookshelf in the corner and another chair beside the door. As the rampage continued Lucy begain the wail in despair. Remembering she wasn't alone Levy turned back and wiped the tears away from her face, staining her bloody yellow dress even further.

"You...If I want to get back at them...I'll use you." The wild look had returned as she set about examining Lucy,trying to find the place she wanted to start at first.

"Please Levy. Please don't." Levy brought the knife down slowly towards Lucy's left hand, hell bent on torture before death. "Please Natsu, please hurry." The knife stopped sitting on Lucy's middle and ring fingers.

"Natsu?" Levy whispered. "Oh no Lucy, Natsu won't ever come. Not anymore." A rumble shook the room as a bright flash came from miles away and flames shot high above where the guild hall of Fairy Tail stood.
